A Guide to Photography


What is Photography?

This short guide to photography is an attempt to answer the question: what is photography? An impossible question to answer perhaps, as it is so broad. But it is still possible to say quite a lot about it! What you will find here then, is information about the different types of photographers and photography that currently exist.

The articles will lead you through an exploration of different photography niches such as abstract photography, social documentary, urban photography, photojournalism, street photography and war photography. I hope to add more in the near future. Knowing something about all the different photography forms will help you to develop your own voice and will influence your decisions when picture taking.
